Feed for expecting entities for address books

Abstract

A feeding module for an address book includes a processor and a memory. The processor receives at least one search parameter. The processor accesses information sources to find existing entities and expecting entities that match the at least one search parameter. The memory stores the found existing entities and the found expecting entities. The feeding module forwards the found existing entities and the found expecting entities to an address book to be displayed.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium including a set of instructions executable by a processor, the set of instructions, when executed by the processor, causing the processor to perform operations comprising:
 receiving a search parameter; 
 accessing information sources to find existing entities and future entities that match the search parameter, wherein the future entities are entities that will be opening at a future time; 
 storing the found existing entities and the found future entities; and 
 forwarding the found existing entities and the found future entities to an address book to be displayed. 
 
     
     
       2. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of  claim 1 , wherein the information sources for the existing entities are one of publicly accessed and privately accessed. 
     
     
       3. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of  claim 1 , wherein the information sources for the future entities are one of publicly accessed and privately accessed. 
     
     
       4. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of  claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise:
 receiving an indication to open a source for a selected one of the found existing entities and the found future entities. 
 
     
     
       5. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of  claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise:
 sending notifications to the address book relating to a selected one of the found future entities. 
 
     
     
       6. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of  claim 5 , wherein the notifications relate to one of an update and a change to information of the selected one of the found future entities. 
     
     
       7. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of  claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise:
 updating statistical data related to a selected one of the found future entities. 
 
     
     
       8. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of  claim 6 , wherein the operations further comprise:
 forwarding the statistical data to an owner of the selected one of the found future entities. 
 
     
     
       9. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of  claim 6 , wherein the statistical data includes one of a counter of interested users and personal information. 
     
     
       10. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of  claim 1 , wherein the operations further comprise:
 sending a notification to subscribed users for all found future entities matching predetermined criteria. 
 
     
     
       11. A feed system, comprising:
 a processor receiving a search parameter, the processor accessing information sources to find existing entities and future entities that match the search parameter, wherein the future entities are entities that will be opening at a future time; and 
 a memory storing the found existing entities and the found future entities, 
 wherein the processor forwards the found existing entities and the found future entities to an address book to be displayed. 
 
     
     
       12. The feed system of  claim 11 , wherein the information sources for the existing entities are one of publicly accessed and privately accessed. 
     
     
       13. The feed system of  claim 11 , wherein the information sources for the future entities are one of publicly accessed and privately accessed. 
     
     
       14. The feed system of  claim 11 , wherein the processor further receives an indication to open a source for a selected one of the found existing entities and the found future entities. 
     
     
       15. The feed system of  claim 11 , wherein the processor further sends notifications to the address book relating to a selected one of the found future entities. 
     
     
       16. The feed system of  claim 15 , wherein the notifications relate to one of an update and a change to information of the selected one of the found future entities. 
     
     
       17. The feed system of  claim 11 , wherein the processor updates statistical data related to a selected one of the found future entities. 
     
     
       18. The feed system of  claim 17 , wherein the processor forwards the statistical data to an owner of the selected one of the found future entities. 
     
     
       19. The feed system of  claim 11 , wherein the processor sends a notification to subscribed users for all found future entities matching predetermined criteria.
